Ring
by
"Totally diffrent. LIke "The Shining" Ring was made into "Ringu" (and later "The Ring" in the US) and changed a lot of the main points of the book. What you get is two seperate entities that are like diffent sides to the same coin. "

Lolita
by
"The remake with Irons really captures the twisted relationship, moving away from what he thinks is love and exposing him for what he is and more importantly Lol for what she is, not a spoiled temptress but an orphaned child."
